She Cooks Your Leftover McDonald’s (For Profit)

✅ SUBSCRIBE for More Travel Videos: 📝 Get My Top 100 Travel Pics FREE! In the biggest slum in Manila called Tondo, over 1 million people are living in a space that is less than 2 square kilometers. And inside of Tondo, you will find a lovely lady named Evelyn who serves freshly made “pag pag“ from the confines of her own home. Pag pag is the Tagalog slang for ’leftover food’ from restaurants such as McDonald’s and Jollibee, where the scraps have been taken from garbage sites around town and brought to Tondo to be recooked into unique dishes, and sold on the streets. Evelyn has been dumpster diving and cooking pag pag for over 1 year, and I was really curious to learn more about it, so I went deep into the slum to meet her and tell you her full story. As sad as it may seem from the outside, you will soon learn that this is a success story -- Evelyn makes more money than her friends working corporate jobs, and she has sent all of her kids to college from her pag pag earnings Most of you guys already know that the Philippines is my absolute favorite country in the world. I have traveled here more than 60 times, and while 99% of my videos in the Philippines have been positive over the years, I strongly felt the need to tell this story which may come off as controversial. I made this story because I feel that poverty in the Philippines shouldn’t go unnoticed, as nearly 4 million people in Manila are living in them. Evelyn is as sweet as can be, and I think many of you will find her story to be uplifting and motivational.
